Tom Cruise applauded Prince William’s “smart choice” to marry Kate Middleton.
At the Los Angeles premiere of Cruise’s new movie, “Digger,” on Monday, the “Top Gun” star recalled his pleasant interactions with the Prince and Princess of Wales at the movie’s world premiere in London last week.
“She’s got a great sense, incredible sense of humor,” the actor told “Extra” of Middleton.

“I mean, obviously very intelligent and fun … they’re so charismatic and so elegant; that dress that she was wearing? Stunning, absolutely stunning,” he added, referring to the mom of three’s custom purple long-sleeved Jenny Packham gown.
“William did well,” Cruise, 64, added with a wink. “Way to go. Smart choice.”
The “Mission: Impossible” star said it was “so fun” seeing the royal couple watch the film and “be part of it.”
